The Long Finned Black Tetra was developed from the Black Tetra or Black skirt Tetra Gymnocorymbus ternetzi. It is a very durable fish and a great choice for the beginning aquarist. It is known by several names and variations of these names, including Longfin Blackskirt Tetra, Longfinned Black Widow Tetra, Black Hifin Tetra, Black skirt Hifin Tetra, and Longfin Blackskirt Tetra.
This fish’s ancestors lived in the Amazon Rainforest in southern South America, but this fish was spawned and raised on a famous fish farm, and these Tetras now live in many aquariums throughout most of the world.
This fish can grow to be about 2.5″ long including the tail.
Behaviors: These guys are active and quarrel with each other but don’t do much harm.
Compatibility: Some recommended tank mates include small fish like Guppies, Platys, Corydoras Catfish, Gouramis, etc.
Temperature: They can live pretty well from about 68 to 80 degrees F., but they’re probably most comfortable at about 75 to 78 degrees F.
Feeding: Premium Fish Food Flakes.
Water Conditions: This fish seems to be tolerant of a wide range of water conditions. Probably a pH of about 7 with moderate hardness is best.
Most water in the US seems to be OK, so it’s probably best NOT to adjust the pH or the hardness of the water.
